Greetings,


The obituary on Anne Olivier Bell in the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/24/obituaries/anne-olivier-bell-editor-of-virginia-woolf-diaries-dies-at-102.html) reflects on Bloomsbury and Woolf in thoughtful ways, but the caption for the beautiful photograph of her at Charleston has a serious typo. One would think that the Guardian could spell Woolf properly, but no. Quentin's aunt was Virginia Woolfe.

Married to Woolf’s nephew, she was a last link to the famed Bloomsbury Group, and also part of the wartime art-preservation unit known as the Monuments Men.


The caption reads:
